SUPSI and MC2.0 present the contest “Solar Design for Public Co-working Spaces”. This contest highlights the crucial interplay between solar energy and buildings in creating multifunctional solar architectures to redefine the use of solar energy as a building and design material.
For the contest “Solar Design for Public Coworking Spaces”, participants are asked to design a temporary co-working space in which a flexible and lightweight photovoltaic film is integrated into one or more technological systems such as shading systems, facades, roofs, street furnishing elements, etc. This space, accommodating approximately 10 workers, should encompass essential co-working amenities such as desks, chairs, electrical outlets, and a small outdoor workspace. The jury will be looking for designs that study how the photovoltaic elements are integrated into the built environment and used as a construction materials and how the technology can influence and shape architectural decisions. Participants may select any urban environment for their “Solar Design for Public Co-working Spaces” and propose a design solution for the fully functional building.
Winning proposal, 3 special awards. The MC2.0 consortium will award a maximum of 3’000 € in in-kind services to competition winners.

A. Purpose of the Competition:
- Through the construction of the new building in Gangbuk-gu, the government aims to provide better public administration services by consolidating dispersed public administration facilities, improving access and convenience for residents, and providing one-stop administrative services.
- As an administrative complex town, the Gangbuk-gu applicant aims to revitalize the local economy by supplying the living SOC that is lacking in Gangbuk-gu, increasing opportunities for local residents to enjoy culture, and creating a community space that provides various social contact opportunities rather than the existing 'government office' and a unique space that supports youth activities and youth entrepreneurship.
- Through creative and iconic design, it will become a global landmark that goes beyond the region and inspires pride in the people of Gangbuk-gu.

We encourage visionaries from around the globe to apply for the competition and design the next-generation schools for Ukraine. We aim to rebuild Ukraine's educational spaces, making them more resilient, safe, and innovative.
